Synopsis

London, 1940. After years of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor—well, to themselves, anyway—Ellie McDonnell and her family have turned over a new leaf as they help the government’s war effort. It’s true that the straight-laced Major Ramsey didn’t give them much choice, but still, Ellie must admit she doesn’t miss breaking and entering as much as she might have thought. What she does miss is the challenge of unlocking an impossible code and the adrenaline rush that comes from being somewhere she shouldn’t. So when Major Ramsey turns up unannounced with another job, she can’t say no. A woman’s body has been found floating in the Thames, with a bracelet locked onto her wrist and a cameo locket attached to it. It’s clear this woman was involved in espionage, but whose side was she on? Who was she reporting to? And who wanted her dead?

Goodreads review by Noah

I had a lot of fun reading this one, I especially liked how roguish the cast of characters are compared to most other cozy mysteries. There’s also a hint of a love triangle, “hint” being the operative word because it’s pretty obvious who’s the endgame couple. Of course, that never stopped me from ro......more

Goodreads review by Blaine

This is the second installment of the Ellie McDonnell espionage series set in England during World War Two. I was very excited to receive this book and moved it to the top of my reading list. Unfortunately my excitement did not last that long for this book. It is rather simple and lacks some of the......more
